I didn't see it either! So I'm blind too.

And as far as your friend goes...maybe just a hi, how are you text, and see how she responds to that. Start slow, so you don't give her the wrong impression, but make it clear that you miss her friendship and don't want her to feel awkward with you. It may not work, she may not be ready. But you don't want to burn bridges by starting to date someone without reaching out to her. At least if you try, you'll have done what you can and have nothing to feel guilty about.
